COVID-19 Growth Rate

Growth is the ratio of cases reported in the last week divided by the total reported cases in the previous two weeks. A steady state would have a rate of 50% by this calculation. The two week window is used as a proxy for the number of active cases at the start of the last week.

Map data is from Boundary data from Natural Earth via https://github.com/datasets/geo-countries.

COVID-19 data is from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/download-todays-data-geographic-distribution-covid-19-cases-worldwide.

NOTE: This is done with Leaflet, but does not use the standard Leaflet tileset.
